ENGLISH CLASSES VIEW
FILM ON HEMINGWAY
By John Purves
A film biography on Ernest
Hemingway was presented for
Mrs. Selma McAlaster's English
HI classes last Thursday. Many
little known facts about Heming
way were brought out in this
film such as the way he described
his own youth in his novels about
Nick Adams.
Hemingway's later life was
always exciting and interesting.
n example of his superb action
writing was the fascinating way
in which he wrote about bull
fights and African hunting ex
peditions. He lived in Paris at
the time of the "Lost Generation"
of authors, poets, and artists. In
1923 Hemingway published his
first novel.
The film dwelled also on
Hemingway, the sportsman. As a
boy of three he received his first
fishing pole and at ten his first
shotgun. In 1933 Hemingway went
oa his first African -safari.

Letters to the

letters were received in regards
a review of the senior class
play, written by John Purves,
which was printed in the last
issue.)
AUDIENCE AT FAULT?
Dear Rogue News:
I write concerning your article
about the senior class play in
the latest Rogue News. Before
reading this I was not aware that
the newspaper staff harboured a
bonafide drama critic
First, I would like it made
clear that I am not a senior and
in no way affiliated with the
senior play, so this is not a de
fensive counter insult but rather
an attempt to rally for the cause
of the senior play.
Yes; this year's drama was
debate coach, this tournament is
one of the most difficult fur de
baters as there are no divisions
for experienced and inexperienc
ed debaters. This means that be
ginning debaters must compete
with students who have had three
and four years of debating ex
perience. In addit, this was the
first tournament from the A.sh
land students while many schools
have had several warm-up con
tests. In addition to the four seniors
who placed in the contest, the
following Ashland students also
competed in the tournament:
Charles Moore, Tom Reid, Bob
Lawrence, Stan Billing, Gary
Gosha, Jon Rober.son, Susie Kap
teyn, Teresa Krug, Maria Drew,
Sami Everett, and Beth Iba.
In January these students will
compete in a speech tournament
to be held at Southern Oreson
College.

welcome change from the family
comedy.
So Charles Moore was not
emotion-clogged! Doesn't tho
author realize that we were sup
posed to dislike him, just as were
supposed to like Kathy Herlein.
Chris Hoberg, and John Reid?
Say! How about mentioning
those supporting roles not so
showy but amply filled by such
people as Elaine Delsman, Clyde
Nelson, and others.
Has the process of clear logic
gone out of style for our Master
Critic? He graciously stated that
this review covered only the after
noon performance and all short
comings were corrected in the
evening performance. The only
difference in the two performan
mances was the audiance. This
